eh I dunno, catboy wife is pretty easy to take romantically in all his stuff near the end of ShB and all though it for sure is an admiration based attraction. He'd be the FF version of a Wife Guy for sure.

It's interesting that the game has a ton of m/m ships or f/m if that's your boat but is really really barren for f/f despite having a lot of important lady characters.

Yeah we don't get really anything. It doesn't help that the important lady scions are either children or Potatoes or a mountain of emotional defenses. I mean you kinda had lyse but she's gone. The admiral is a good choice who always has your back (Like having to be dragged way from starting a war to save you from the Crystal Braves' bullshit) but she's busy busy.

The Lodestone stories like setting up the idea of Y'shtola and the WoL, but the game never really met them on that (or on... basically anything really, I don't think a single Lodestone story has laid groundwork picked up by the game). I honestly only see that in an 'only two eligible people in the group' kinda thing; they only get together because there are literally no other options. Granted, Y'sh seems to warm considerably in just that situation, it feels like that's how she and Runar grew close, but it's still not much. Outside of her, I could... maybe see Krile working if they wanted to take that road? Her eyes aren't on anyone else, and she seems friendly without being aloof. There's no groundwork there right now, but it could work if they were so inclined.

I guess, being Au Ra height, I parse myself as one of the "kids" rather than seeing the old guard as romantic interests at all.  Maybe at some point I'll fantasia to Roe and find myself looking at the cast in a very different way.

sexpig by night posted:'Limsa's Admiral's thighs x half the female WoLs out there's head' is a pretty common ship at least. Surprisingly she isn't even in the top ten of f/ fics on AO3. Which just speaks to the dearth of shipability in the game. Like the Admiral is neat but a lot of the good shipping comes from characters playing emotionally off one another and there's not much to her and the wol beyond Tall Lady Pls Step On Me. Especially Compared to G'raha and Emet who basically own the shipping market.

Do you mean generally, or in terms of relationships? Because off the dome Pippin was introduced in Tales from the Calamity before showing up in 2.5, and Fordola working with Arenvald and a summoner squad started in Tales from the Storm before being followed through in both the SMN 80 quest and the recent patch.

Arenvald and Fordola would both be reasonable additions to the Trust team. I assume it's never going to turn into a collectible thing where every major NPC in the game becomes a Trust but I assume we'll eventually get 10-12 so we have several choices for every role. (Although, being able to bring job NPCs like Alka Zolka or Arya would be pretty fun and give them something to do.)

Rand Brittain posted:Arenvald and Fordola would both be reasonable additions to the Trust team. I hope they start to make the Trusts more like they are in the Memoria Misera normal fight, where the characters don't need to actually be there in the story and it's more of a gameplay contrivance. I think the addition of Trusts is great, but the way they are now makes the plot kind of beholden to them because you're always going to need to make sure the DPS npc, the tank npc, and the healer npc are there too. It's worked fine so far, but it does restrict the story in a way it wasn't before.

The bulk of the previous expansions you still had a squad with you they just didn't participate in the actual dungeon aside from showing up. I'm hard pressed to think of a dungeon that wasn't one of the like level 50 optional ones where you're going in solo,

Trusts have mostly limited the story in needing someone to be around to perform all the roles the player isn't. There's no real reason why they have to be tied to the same characters, though, especially with precedent like Lyna and Crystal Exarch (pre-5.3). No reason we can't even just have rotating adventurers other than the team not writing that to date.
